1
00:00:20,660 --> 00:00:22,850
I can go home or back to work
2
00:00:22,850 --> 00:00:24,850
Which I really don't want to do, because I've got
3
00:00:24,850 --> 00:00:26,850
Eurofurence coming after this!
4
00:00:27,050 --> 00:00:27,940
And yes,
5
00:00:27,940 --> 00:00:29,420
I will be at EF,
6
00:00:29,420 --> 00:00:31,420
I don't know why but I will be.
7
00:00:32,820 --> 00:00:34,710
It zero'ed me in!
8
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,710
It's like the
9
00:00:36,710 --> 00:00:39,600
face-seeking camera!
10
00:00:39,970 --> 00:00:41,850
It's got me!
11
00:00:42,510 --> 00:00:45,400
And yes, I'm here at EF!
12
00:00:46,650 --> 00:00:48,680
I flew in from America,
13
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,680
and damn, my legs are tired!
14
00:00:51,250 --> 00:00:52,770
Oh gawd!
15
00:05:50,250 --> 00:05:51,370
hi BB!
16
00:05:51,710 --> 00:05:53,370
Maybe you need to do your light
17
00:05:53,370 --> 00:05:55,370
somewhere else, I can't see your face!
18
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,400
I can't noseboop your camera!
19
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:03,510
Good to see you
20
00:11:03,510 --> 00:11:05,510
at Eurofurence 36!
21
00:11:08,370 --> 00:11:10,940
It's the 36th anniversary today!
22
00:11:10,940 --> 00:11:12,570
Don't mind this fox,
23
00:11:12,570 --> 00:11:14,570
he's just been washed, but he's the cleanest
24
00:11:14,570 --> 00:11:16,400
you'll ever see him, so...
25
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,400
HD footage of that and...
26
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,170
at the end of the con you can do a before and after
27
00:11:21,250 --> 00:11:22,620
Wait, foxes are always dirty
28
00:11:22,620 --> 00:11:24,620
so he'll look the same after.
29
00:11:31,340 --> 00:11:33,170
Just stop filming, BB!
30
00:11:33,170 --> 00:11:35,170
Just stop!
31
00:16:16,020 --> 00:16:18,200
Please give me a chance to
32
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,200
check into my room
33
00:16:20,820 --> 00:16:22,880
because when the boat lands
34
00:16:23,850 --> 00:16:26,370
I have to get another jacket.
35
00:16:31,570 --> 00:16:34,170
It would be great if you'd stop filming
36
00:16:34,170 --> 00:16:36,170
because the fat old lady
37
00:16:36,170 --> 00:16:38,170
has to get out of this.
38
00:17:25,620 --> 00:17:28,080
No! NO!
39
00:17:28,340 --> 00:17:29,770
See the shit I got...?
40
00:17:29,770 --> 00:17:31,770
You gotta deal with that, it's just how it goes!
41
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,600
Get off my nose!
42
00:17:36,570 --> 00:17:38,110
This is who he is!
43
00:17:39,970 --> 00:17:41,970
Remind me why I'm here again?
44
00:17:42,170 --> 00:17:43,400
I don't know.
45
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:44,770
Get... no!
46
00:17:44,770 --> 00:17:46,770
Eat the bad Pretzel!
47
00:17:58,200 --> 00:17:59,740
I'll bite you!
48
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,480
Welcome to the summerboat...
49
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,140
cue, basically!
50
00:19:36,140 --> 00:19:37,880
You have to wait for one hour
51
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,880
and... I don't know!
52
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:41,880
It just takes too long!
53
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,140
Look at this handsome guy!
54
00:25:01,140 --> 00:25:03,140
Most handsome guy ever!
55
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,480
You're making my face red!
56
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,170
Oh, stop it!
57
00:25:59,770 --> 00:26:01,820
So, why the long face?
58
00:26:01,820 --> 00:26:02,540
OMG!
59
00:26:02,540 --> 00:26:04,540
Honestly, just fuck yourself!
60
00:26:06,020 --> 00:26:08,710
Now you see what I have to deal with every single time!
61
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,680
He's too drunk!
62
00:26:28,110 --> 00:26:29,600
Come to Scotiacon!
63
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,650
It's the best con in Scotland!
64
00:26:37,710 --> 00:26:39,310
Something got out and then it started
65
00:26:39,310 --> 00:26:41,310
biting everybody, there was lots of
66
00:26:41,310 --> 00:26:43,310
blood and somebody lost
67
00:26:43,310 --> 00:26:44,200
an arm...
68
00:26:45,140 --> 00:26:46,770
It wasn't my arm so...
69
00:26:49,170 --> 00:26:50,710
I don't know about it.
70
00:26:50,820 --> 00:26:52,200
Dispatch doesn't know about it.
71
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,200
It was a minor incident! It's okay!
72
00:26:54,340 --> 00:26:55,680
It was informal...
73
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:56,970
Have you buried everything?
74
00:26:56,970 --> 00:26:58,310
Yes!
75
00:26:58,310 --> 00:26:59,620
I'm another cameraman
76
00:26:59,620 --> 00:27:01,620
with an invisible camera.
77
00:27:01,620 --> 00:27:03,620
I'm really good at pointing it at people!
78
00:27:03,850 --> 00:27:04,940
I eat this!
79
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,740
Are we supposed to perform?
80
00:27:14,850 --> 00:27:16,740
I'm not some sort of monkey that
81
00:27:16,740 --> 00:27:18,740
will perform for you!
82
00:27:19,170 --> 00:27:21,540
Oh no, I'm not!
83
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,370
It's way too early in the panto for that bollocks!
84
00:27:28,220 --> 00:27:31,220
He's behind you!
85
00:27:58,370 --> 00:28:00,680
It's a were-corgi!
86
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:09,820
Look into my eyes!
87
00:28:09,820 --> 00:28:11,820
Look deep into my eyes!
88
00:28:12,650 --> 00:28:14,770
You're sleepy....
89
00:28:14,770 --> 00:28:16,770
Sleepy...
90
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:48,450
Welcome to EF!
91
00:28:48,450 --> 00:28:50,450
Fantastic!
92
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,000
Uh eh Uh ah ah !
93
00:29:48,970 --> 00:29:50,650
Usually you can...
94
00:29:50,650 --> 00:29:52,650
especially on these nice little cameras,
95
00:29:52,650 --> 00:29:54,650
you can just turn off the red light so people
96
00:29:54,650 --> 00:29:56,140
think you don't film
97
00:29:56,140 --> 00:29:57,510
and in reality you do.
98
00:29:57,510 --> 00:29:59,510
It's like these Japanese phones
99
00:29:59,510 --> 00:30:01,510
that don't make that click
100
00:30:01,510 --> 00:30:03,510
true, that not make actually...
101
00:30:03,850 --> 00:30:05,400
the cameraman that takes a picture....
102
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,400
is like....
103
00:30:07,770 --> 00:30:09,820
Stealth recording!
104
00:33:08,260 --> 00:33:10,260
[people singing Tetris melody]
105
00:35:04,540 --> 00:35:07,000
Da Real Tani has arrived!
106
00:35:09,370 --> 00:35:11,680
Is good, is good!
107
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,370
Welcome to Germany!
108
00:35:17,020 --> 00:35:18,770
Welcome to Eurofurence!
109
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,740
We just want to say a word of thanks.
110
00:35:22,740 --> 00:35:24,740
Everybody who has come to
111
00:35:24,740 --> 00:35:26,740
EF, welcome!
112
00:35:26,740 --> 00:35:28,740
Welcome to EF!
113
00:35:28,740 --> 00:35:30,740
On behalf of me and
114
00:35:30,740 --> 00:35:32,740
Randon!
115
00:36:29,850 --> 00:36:31,680
It just happened!
116
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,110
Don't trust this person.
117
00:36:44,110 --> 00:36:45,420
Totally don't trust...
118
00:36:45,420 --> 00:36:48,400
Yeah, says someone with an open pant.
119
00:36:49,370 --> 00:36:50,220
It's a k...
120
00:36:50,220 --> 00:36:51,540
Easy Access!
121
00:36:51,540 --> 00:36:53,800
It's a kilt, seriously!
122
00:44:39,710 --> 00:44:41,710
Hi! Good to see you again!
123
00:44:42,220 --> 00:44:45,050
It's a horse of a story, I can tell you that!
124
00:44:45,050 --> 00:44:47,050
*siren at half pace*
125
00:44:48,620 --> 00:44:51,020
And I know exactly how to make that
126
00:44:51,020 --> 00:44:53,020
siren go off!
127
00:44:53,020 --> 00:44:55,020
*siren at full pace*
128
00:44:55,970 --> 00:44:58,570
She has that one button!
129
00:46:10,620 --> 00:46:11,620
Hello?
130
00:46:12,820 --> 00:46:13,880
Hello??
131
00:46:14,910 --> 00:46:16,340
HELLO?
132
00:46:16,340 --> 00:46:18,340
Is anybody out there?
133
00:46:23,110 --> 00:46:24,940
Hello!
134
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:37,250
What an exciting week this was!
135
00:46:37,250 --> 00:46:39,250
We had so much fun together!
136
00:46:39,250 --> 00:46:41,250
And I'm super
137
00:46:41,250 --> 00:46:43,250
glad all of your came here
138
00:46:43,250 --> 00:46:45,250
and I'd also like to thank you
139
00:46:45,250 --> 00:46:47,710
for the awesome time we had at EF 25!
140
00:46:48,540 --> 00:46:50,540
We're still counting the money
141
00:46:50,540 --> 00:46:52,540
for the charity so I can't
142
00:46:52,540 --> 00:46:54,540
announce that right now
143
00:46:54,770 --> 00:46:56,620
and I'd also
144
00:46:56,620 --> 00:46:58,620
give a special thanks to our very
145
00:46:58,620 --> 00:47:00,170
nice guest of honor,
146
00:47:00,170 --> 00:47:02,170
Alector Fencer,
147
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:04,450
for...
148
00:47:04,450 --> 00:47:07,000
doing all the nice stuff she did
149
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,000
and making herself available
150
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:11,220
and....
151
00:47:11,620 --> 00:47:13,680
since you're all probably waiting
152
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:15,110
for the Pawpet Show to begin,
153
00:47:15,110 --> 00:47:17,110
I'll make this really short: I'll see
154
00:47:17,110 --> 00:47:19,110
you all next year at
155
00:47:19,110 --> 00:47:21,110
EF 26, at
156
00:47:21,110 --> 00:47:23,110
"Rifts in Time",
157
00:47:23,450 --> 00:47:25,710
Have a wonderful
158
00:47:25,710 --> 00:47:27,710
night and a good way home.
159
00:47:27,710 --> 00:47:29,710
Byebye!
160
00:47:31,850 --> 00:47:33,000
What happened?
161
00:47:33,370 --> 00:47:35,280
Where are we?
162
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:38,740
And when are we?
163
00:47:42,250 --> 00:47:44,970
As it seems, we're lost in time!
164
00:47:44,970 --> 00:47:46,770
That's been the Closing Ceremonies of
165
00:47:46,770 --> 00:47:48,770
EF 25!
166
00:47:50,910 --> 00:47:53,200
It should be the Opening Ceremony.
167
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:54,970
'This is all wrong!
168
00:47:54,970 --> 00:47:56,970
Okay, don't panic.
169
00:47:56,970 --> 00:47:58,970
Let's try to reboot this machine.
170
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:01,850
I got it!
171
00:48:01,850 --> 00:48:03,850
Somehow, synthetic dust bunnies
172
00:48:03,850 --> 00:48:05,850
made it into the time core.
173
00:48:05,850 --> 00:48:07,850
If I just hit the emergency cleaning
174
00:48:07,850 --> 00:48:09,850
protocol, it should be
175
00:48:10,340 --> 00:48:12,880
fine.
176
00:48:16,740 --> 00:48:17,400
Ladies and Gentlemen,
177
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:19,400
welcome to Anthrocon, currently the
178
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:21,400
largest furry convention in the world!
179
00:48:34,220 --> 00:48:35,910
I'm very pleased to announce
180
00:48:35,910 --> 00:48:37,910
this is going to be our last year in
181
00:48:37,910 --> 00:48:39,910
Philadelphia. We are planning to move
182
00:48:39,910 --> 00:48:41,910
to Pittsburgh next year, this is
183
00:48:41,910 --> 00:48:43,910
something very new for us
184
00:48:43,910 --> 00:48:45,910
so we're gonna ask you all to bare with us
185
00:48:46,570 --> 00:48:48,510
Because..... like I....
186
00:48:56,650 --> 00:48:57,910
No!
187
00:48:57,910 --> 00:49:00,400
This isn't right! Again!
188
00:49:01,310 --> 00:49:02,220
Okay.
189
00:49:02,220 --> 00:49:04,220
We have to fix this situation before
190
00:49:04,220 --> 00:49:06,220
the fracture in time and space becomes
191
00:49:06,220 --> 00:49:08,220
an even bigger problem than it is
192
00:49:08,220 --> 00:49:10,220
right now.
193
00:49:10,220 --> 00:49:12,220
The scan revealed a much bigger
194
00:49:12,220 --> 00:49:14,220
problem. Those weren't
195
00:49:14,220 --> 00:49:16,220
just ordinary dust bunnies,
196
00:49:16,220 --> 00:49:18,220
those are slurries!
197
00:49:18,650 --> 00:49:20,480
Contaminated and disgusting
198
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:22,710
little greyballs. They infiltrated
199
00:49:22,710 --> 00:49:24,710
the time core.
200
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:27,710
Companions, I need your help.
201
00:49:27,710 --> 00:49:29,710
Yes. As I can see in the
202
00:49:29,710 --> 00:49:31,710
engineering's department report,
203
00:49:31,710 --> 00:49:33,710
you have received your handbook already.
204
00:49:34,310 --> 00:49:35,650
Do you remember?
205
00:49:35,650 --> 00:49:37,650
Those guys with orange stripes on the
206
00:49:37,650 --> 00:49:39,650
uniform, they keep all of
207
00:49:39,650 --> 00:49:41,650
us together. Read the handbook.
208
00:49:42,250 --> 00:49:44,370
It's important to stay safe.
209
00:49:44,370 --> 00:49:46,370
Even if we're able to fix all of this,
210
00:49:46,370 --> 00:49:48,370
we have to look for other anomalies
211
00:49:48,370 --> 00:49:50,370
during the next 4 days.
212
00:49:50,370 --> 00:49:52,020
This is our target:
213
00:49:52,020 --> 00:49:54,020
The security department took a picture.
214
00:49:54,020 --> 00:49:55,200
Finally.
215
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:57,200
To get rid of them, you have to follow
216
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,200
protocol 621:
217
00:49:59,910 --> 00:50:02,050
Please, listen closely:
218
00:50:02,050 --> 00:50:04,050
Take 6 hours of sleep a day
219
00:50:04,050 --> 00:50:06,050
and you will stay observant.
220
00:50:06,050 --> 00:50:08,050
It will be easier to spot them.
221
00:50:08,310 --> 00:50:10,280
Eat two meals a day, otherwise
222
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:12,280
a slurry is able to feel your weakness
223
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:14,280
and will infect you. And you
224
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:16,110
don't want to experience our
225
00:50:16,110 --> 00:50:18,110
quarantine protocol. Instead
226
00:50:18,110 --> 00:50:20,110
take one shower a day and stay
227
00:50:20,110 --> 00:50:22,110
clean. Slurries won't be
228
00:50:22,110 --> 00:50:24,110
able to stick to your body after this
229
00:50:24,110 --> 00:50:25,370
Procedure.
230
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:27,370
Engineers, initiate
231
00:50:27,370 --> 00:50:29,370
the time core stereo station.
232
00:50:30,710 --> 00:50:32,480
It's time. Please.
233
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:33,740
Please don't worry.
234
00:50:33,740 --> 00:50:35,370
We will get through this.
235
00:50:35,370 --> 00:50:37,250
It will be an amazing journey.
236
00:50:37,250 --> 00:50:39,250
Remember always: you're all
237
00:50:39,250 --> 00:50:41,250
stories in the end. Just make
238
00:50:41,250 --> 00:50:43,250
it a good one. Okay?
239
00:50:50,540 --> 00:50:51,820
THIS TIII......
240
00:50:52,740 --> 00:50:55,050
This time for real!
241
00:50:56,110 --> 00:50:59,080
Welcome to EF 25!
242
00:50:59,250 --> 00:51:00,600
and
243
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:05,080
I'm standing here, everybody's staring at me again...
244
00:51:06,620 --> 00:51:08,400
This is how I looked before
245
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:10,400
I became a con chairman,
246
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:12,910
and this is how I look today!
247
00:51:15,140 --> 00:51:18,600
I brought a little bit of nostalgia for you guys.
248
00:51:19,510 --> 00:51:22,420
Tes, who is one of the very few
249
00:51:22,850 --> 00:51:24,970
remaining attendes of EF 1
250
00:51:24,970 --> 00:51:26,800
who is still attending today,
251
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:30,200
brought me one of the original
252
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:33,250
signposts that we used to
253
00:51:33,620 --> 00:51:35,280
make people find EF in the
254
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:37,280
year 1995.
255
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:39,080
And if any of you
256
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:41,080
recognizes what kind of
257
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:44,770
font this is then
258
00:51:44,770 --> 00:51:46,770
you've proven yourself really old.
259
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:51,480
It's actually the alien language from Albedo,
260
00:51:51,770 --> 00:51:53,880
the groundbreaking comic by Steve Gallachi.
261
00:51:54,110 --> 00:51:56,970
We've also have this
262
00:51:56,970 --> 00:51:58,970
sheet with the prints
263
00:51:59,220 --> 00:52:02,140
of the badges of our very first meeting
264
00:52:02,770 --> 00:52:05,080
You can see down here,
265
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:08,140
my name is still different back then.
266
00:52:08,140 --> 00:52:09,820
I will put this here so the camera
267
00:52:09,820 --> 00:52:11,820
can pick it up.
268
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:17,450
And we've also
269
00:52:18,820 --> 00:52:21,770
found this little gem, this is
270
00:52:21,770 --> 00:52:23,770
the actual copy of
271
00:52:23,770 --> 00:52:25,770
the map we posted on our webpage
272
00:52:25,770 --> 00:52:28,400
back in 1994.
273
00:52:28,910 --> 00:52:30,620
This took about
274
00:52:30,620 --> 00:52:32,620
100 years to download.
275
00:52:35,050 --> 00:52:37,140
So that's very nice and
276
00:52:37,220 --> 00:52:40,080
this should go in a museum if we had one.
277
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:42,280
Okay, now
278
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:44,280
Everybody else who's supposed to be on
279
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:46,280
stage please come on.
280
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:48,280
Cause I'm going to pass the microphone
281
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:50,280
around so everybody will be able
282
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:53,080
to introduce themselves. Have a seat.
283
00:52:55,740 --> 00:52:57,570
Stats:
284
00:52:57,570 --> 00:52:59,570
Registered and
285
00:52:59,570 --> 00:53:01,570
accepted are
286
00:53:01,570 --> 00:53:03,570
as of now:
287
00:53:03,570 --> 00:53:05,570
3532 people.
288
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:19,770
and already here
289
00:53:19,770 --> 00:53:21,770
we met 3000.
290
00:53:31,170 --> 00:53:32,970
Fursuiters:
291
00:53:34,740 --> 00:53:37,210
1541!
292
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:45,400
735 artists,
293
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:47,400
190 animators,
294
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:50,680
and 178 musicians.
295
00:53:56,650 --> 00:53:58,970
I don't have much to say about the hotel,
296
00:53:58,970 --> 00:54:00,970
the food trucks are back because it was
297
00:54:00,970 --> 00:54:03,400
a huge success last year, I hope you liked them,
298
00:54:04,170 --> 00:54:05,850
starting off tonight!
299
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:08,570
If you haev any questions regarding the hotel
300
00:54:08,570 --> 00:54:10,570
just feel free to approach the staff
301
00:54:10,570 --> 00:54:12,570
or me, we'll try to solve your problem.
302
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:16,080
Thanks so much for being here and have a wonderful con!
303
00:54:19,770 --> 00:54:21,850
Also for real, I'd like to introduce
304
00:54:21,850 --> 00:54:23,850
and wholeheartedly welcome our
305
00:54:23,850 --> 00:54:24,910
beautiful guest of honor,
306
00:54:24,910 --> 00:54:26,910
Alector Fencer!
307
00:54:35,220 --> 00:54:38,600
Maybe you'd like to tell people who you are:
308
00:54:40,510 --> 00:54:42,110
What I do....
309
00:54:42,110 --> 00:54:43,480
I draw pictures.
310
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:45,480
I draw things I imagine,
311
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:48,600
I draw dreams I dream of at night,
312
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:50,600
YOU DREW THE FUCKING BADGE!
313
00:54:53,310 --> 00:54:55,820
I drew the fucking badges....
314
00:54:56,770 --> 00:54:58,770
We have a new offering this year:
315
00:54:58,770 --> 00:55:00,450
The wonderful Alpha Ki has been
316
00:55:00,450 --> 00:55:02,450
hard at work creating this new
317
00:55:02,450 --> 00:55:04,450
Playfox! And:
318
00:55:06,970 --> 00:55:08,400
you can even flip it over
319
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:10,400
suddenly it's Playvixen!
320
00:55:11,850 --> 00:55:14,050
There are a lot of interesting....
321
00:55:14,050 --> 00:55:15,820
articles....
322
00:55:15,820 --> 00:55:17,820
in it!
323
00:55:18,310 --> 00:55:19,970
Yes!
324
00:55:20,570 --> 00:55:21,650
Especially,
325
00:55:21,650 --> 00:55:22,880
look at the centerpiece
326
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:24,880
it is gorgeous!
327
00:55:26,770 --> 00:55:28,220
C'mon!
328
00:55:29,370 --> 00:55:31,080
Don't drool too hard!
329
00:55:49,370 --> 00:55:50,880
Okay, now we totally know
330
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:52,880
why I'm not aspiring a career
331
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:54,880
as a voice artist.
332
00:55:55,340 --> 00:55:57,910
Anyway, we have a great artshow.
333
00:55:58,170 --> 00:56:01,570
We have 3 of the most amazing panels
334
00:56:01,570 --> 00:56:03,570
filled with wonderful black and white
335
00:56:03,570 --> 00:56:05,570
photocopies of all of the
336
00:56:05,570 --> 00:56:07,570
7 American artists there are,
337
00:56:07,910 --> 00:56:11,510
in valueable clear plastic binders
338
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:12,620
Wait...
339
00:56:12,620 --> 00:56:14,620
Okay, that was EF 3....
340
00:56:14,850 --> 00:56:17,220
Who came up with that topic anyway?
341
00:56:17,220 --> 00:56:19,220
Just in time, damnit.
342
00:56:19,220 --> 00:56:22,620
OK, we have actually 153 artists
343
00:56:22,620 --> 00:56:25,510
with over 1200 exhibits,
344
00:56:25,510 --> 00:56:28,710
on more than 147 panels.
345
00:56:28,710 --> 00:56:30,710
That's a little bit better.
346
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:35,800
And with that,
347
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:38,570
that really leaves me with only one thing:
348
00:56:38,570 --> 00:56:42,140
I hereby declare EF 25 open!
349
00:56:42,140 --> 00:56:44,140
Have fun!
350
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:49,650
Let's have a good time!
351
00:57:57,420 --> 00:57:59,220
You know what I miss on these cameras?
352
00:57:59,220 --> 00:58:01,220
They don't have a fucking shutter.
353
00:58:18,110 --> 00:58:20,570
OMNOMNOMNOMNOM
354
00:58:21,250 --> 00:58:24,250
I'm assuming you have that food from
355
00:58:24,250 --> 00:58:26,250
It's Stroopwafels!
356
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:28,910
Show it!
357
01:02:47,170 --> 01:02:50,140
Welcome to: "Drinking Beer with Kami"!
358
01:03:09,570 --> 01:03:11,220
This bitch: empty!
359
01:03:14,820 --> 01:03:17,450
British: Buy me a new one.
360
01:04:12,140 --> 01:04:13,620
nnnnnnnyesssss!
361
01:04:14,340 --> 01:04:16,250
Thank you, British!
362
01:05:57,850 --> 01:05:59,570
Hi Security!
363
01:05:59,850 --> 01:06:01,250
How are things going?
364
01:06:01,250 --> 01:06:03,250
Security reminds the cameraguy to
365
01:06:03,250 --> 01:06:05,420
steo outside of the circle of the fire please.
366
01:06:05,420 --> 01:06:07,420
I can't see the circle.
367
01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:10,000
But you can film it!
368
01:06:10,250 --> 01:06:12,370
No, I'm filming you!
369
01:06:12,370 --> 01:06:14,370
OMG!
370
01:17:51,080 --> 01:17:53,380
2002 I got an email
371
01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:56,050
from this guy
372
01:17:56,620 --> 01:17:59,000
who had what I believe to be the
373
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:01,000
greatest name in Furry Fandom:
374
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:04,110
I immediately wanted to meet this man.
375
01:18:04,480 --> 01:18:06,220
When I get an email from somebody named
376
01:18:06,220 --> 01:18:08,220
"Sven Tegethoff (Take-It-Off)"
377
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:13,280
He and I have got to be friends.
378
01:18:15,050 --> 01:18:17,620
He said "Why don't you come to EF?"
379
01:18:17,620 --> 01:18:19,000
and I said:
380
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:21,000
"Oh, you mean the one that's
381
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:23,170
in a different European nation
382
01:18:23,170 --> 01:18:25,170
every single year and bobs
383
01:18:25,170 --> 01:18:26,170
around Europe?"
384
01:18:26,170 --> 01:18:28,170
and he said: "Something like that."
385
01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:31,050
So I said: "Sure."
386
01:18:31,050 --> 01:18:33,480
They had a nice website.
387
01:18:33,480 --> 01:18:36,770
You see, I'm the chairman
388
01:18:36,770 --> 01:18:39,140
of a very large convention.
389
01:18:39,340 --> 01:18:41,540
It was a big convention back then.
390
01:18:41,540 --> 01:18:43,540
And every con has a theme.
391
01:18:44,600 --> 01:18:47,650
And you try to do something that's kind of
392
01:18:47,650 --> 01:18:50,620
in line with the theme.
393
01:18:51,140 --> 01:18:53,880
And as I was on the plane to Germany
394
01:18:55,400 --> 01:18:59,000
I thought, this is gonna be fun.
395
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:01,000
Since this is such a
396
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:04,220
cute, tiny little con,
397
01:19:04,220 --> 01:19:07,820
I wonder if they're gonna do anything in line with the theme.
398
01:19:08,310 --> 01:19:11,570
And their theme that year was nice:
399
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:13,970
The FIA.
400
01:19:13,970 --> 01:19:16,620
The Furry Intelligence Agency.
401
01:19:16,850 --> 01:19:19,370
I said, "That's adorable!"
402
01:19:19,620 --> 01:19:21,370
Somebody make a noise out there if you
403
01:19:21,370 --> 01:19:23,370
remember the FIA.
404
01:19:25,600 --> 01:19:27,620
Thank you, 12 people.
405
01:19:28,140 --> 01:19:30,970
As I said, it was small back then.
406
01:19:32,450 --> 01:19:33,940
Here's the trick:
407
01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:36,250
They're still around!
408
01:19:36,250 --> 01:19:38,250
You just don't know it.
409
01:19:38,910 --> 01:19:41,650
Yes, the FIA, a
410
01:19:41,650 --> 01:19:43,650
secret branch of the
411
01:19:43,650 --> 01:19:45,650
German gouvernment that
412
01:19:45,650 --> 01:19:47,650
was designed to monitor
413
01:19:47,650 --> 01:19:49,650
the activities of these strange
414
01:19:49,650 --> 01:19:51,650
animal people out there.
415
01:19:52,280 --> 01:19:53,880
And they were bringing in
416
01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:55,880
a noted American scientist, an
417
01:19:55,880 --> 01:19:57,880
expert on these creatures.
418
01:20:00,450 --> 01:20:02,340
I arrived at the airport.
419
01:20:03,020 --> 01:20:05,820
Coming from the USA very shortly after an
420
01:20:05,820 --> 01:20:09,110
unfortunate period of my country's history,
421
01:20:09,600 --> 01:20:12,600
I was wondering what Security was going to be like.
422
01:20:13,770 --> 01:20:15,140
And when I got
423
01:20:15,140 --> 01:20:17,140
to passport control,
424
01:20:17,450 --> 01:20:19,820
there was a German gentleman there
425
01:20:19,820 --> 01:20:22,620
who had no eyelids.
426
01:20:22,880 --> 01:20:23,880
or at least,
427
01:20:23,880 --> 01:20:25,110
he might have had eyelids,
428
01:20:25,110 --> 01:20:27,110
but he could see through them.
429
01:20:27,370 --> 01:20:29,450
Because he was sitting there like this:
430
01:20:32,680 --> 01:20:34,970
I walked towards him and he said:
431
01:20:35,420 --> 01:20:37,340
Jaja....
432
01:20:39,620 --> 01:20:41,650
I got my passport out, he said,
433
01:20:41,650 --> 01:20:43,650
Jaja, go....
434
01:20:45,880 --> 01:20:48,400
He had a night, didn't he?
435
01:20:49,310 --> 01:20:52,510
I always travel in business attire
436
01:20:52,510 --> 01:20:55,420
when I fly. Makes people think I'm important.
437
01:20:56,220 --> 01:20:58,340
I stepped out of the
438
01:20:58,340 --> 01:21:00,340
passp... hi!
439
01:21:01,340 --> 01:21:02,050
I'm being herded!
440
01:21:02,050 --> 01:21:04,050
I stepped out of passport control
441
01:21:04,050 --> 01:21:07,080
and the automatic Startrek doors slide open
442
01:21:07,540 --> 01:21:09,400
There were three
443
01:21:09,400 --> 01:21:11,400
imposing looking men in black
444
01:21:11,400 --> 01:21:13,880
suits, with black sunglasses
445
01:21:13,880 --> 01:21:17,370
and black fedoras and curly radio things here
446
01:21:17,370 --> 01:21:20,800
and very official looking government IDs
447
01:21:21,400 --> 01:21:22,570
and I thought...
448
01:21:22,570 --> 01:21:24,570
That's nice!
449
01:21:25,110 --> 01:21:27,570
I started to go around them
450
01:21:27,570 --> 01:21:29,570
and one of them stepped in my way and said:
451
01:21:29,570 --> 01:21:31,050
"Doctor Conway?"
452
01:21:31,050 --> 01:21:33,050
I said: "Yes!"
453
01:21:33,940 --> 01:21:36,400
I really hope you're with the con.
454
01:21:38,370 --> 01:21:40,600
He said "Kom weez us pleeze!"
455
01:21:40,600 --> 01:21:42,940
And they picked up my bags
456
01:21:42,940 --> 01:21:44,400
one in front, one to the left,
457
01:21:44,400 --> 01:21:46,400
one to the right.
458
01:21:46,620 --> 01:21:50,000
They marched me out of the Frankfurt Flughafen.
459
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:52,000
Out of the airport,
460
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:54,000
there was a vintage silver
461
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:57,170
Mercedes Benz Limousine out there
462
01:21:57,400 --> 01:21:59,680
with a red carpet leading up to it,
463
01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:02,140
two more of these black clad individuals
464
01:22:02,140 --> 01:22:05,650
with sunglasses looking around suspiciously like this.
465
01:22:06,020 --> 01:22:08,680
and a black SUV
466
01:22:08,680 --> 01:22:10,680
front and back with
467
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:13,880
the FIA logo on the doors.
468
01:22:14,050 --> 01:22:16,340
And that limousine had flags mounted
469
01:22:16,340 --> 01:22:18,340
on the fenders: the German flag on
470
01:22:18,340 --> 01:22:21,480
right, the FIA flag on the left.
471
01:22:22,510 --> 01:22:23,770
And I walked up
472
01:22:23,770 --> 01:22:25,600
and I was greeted by a guy with a big
473
01:22:25,600 --> 01:22:28,250
dog who's like "Grrr, grr, I'm watching you".
474
01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:31,000
I looked in the back seat,
475
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:34,020
there was a box of Cuban cigars.
476
01:22:34,020 --> 01:22:36,020
We can't get those.
477
01:22:39,400 --> 01:22:42,600
On the back seat.
478
01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:44,600
They opened the door and I got in,
479
01:22:44,600 --> 01:22:46,800
and in perfect
480
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:48,800
synchronisation
481
01:22:49,140 --> 01:22:51,220
these two black SUVs
482
01:22:51,220 --> 01:22:53,220
adn the limousine pulled out
483
01:22:53,650 --> 01:22:56,570
and around the ramp and onto the Autobahn.
484
01:22:57,450 --> 01:22:59,400
The flags were flapping like this
485
01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:02,170
and the SUVs were very close front and back
486
01:23:02,170 --> 01:23:04,880
It must have made quite a spectacle.
487
01:23:05,050 --> 01:23:08,540
Because I'm sitting in the back towards the driver's side
488
01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:10,170
and I would see
489
01:23:10,170 --> 01:23:12,170
people would pull up
490
01:23:12,650 --> 01:23:15,080
and I would see from the corner of my eye
491
01:23:15,080 --> 01:23:17,080
they were kinda pacing looking,
492
01:23:17,080 --> 01:23:19,080
and I'd just do this.
493
01:23:19,310 --> 01:23:21,940
And they'd back up.
494
01:23:25,370 --> 01:23:27,740
We got off of the Autobahn
495
01:23:28,140 --> 01:23:30,140
immediately onto a road made of
496
01:23:30,140 --> 01:23:33,110
dirt. It was this wide
497
01:23:34,970 --> 01:23:36,510
and I suspect they wanted
498
01:23:36,510 --> 01:23:38,510
two vehicles to be able to pass.
499
01:23:40,280 --> 01:23:43,140
We started driving into the fields
500
01:23:43,450 --> 01:23:45,800
and into the forests
501
01:23:45,800 --> 01:23:47,800
far from civilisation
502
01:23:48,480 --> 01:23:50,140
and I said
503
01:23:50,540 --> 01:23:54,050
I REALLY hope these guys are with the convention.
504
01:23:57,480 --> 01:24:00,400
In the middle of nowhere,
505
01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:02,170
on an unseen,
506
01:24:02,170 --> 01:24:04,170
unheard cue,
507
01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:06,480
we stopped.
508
01:24:07,280 --> 01:24:09,850
And the doors opened on the SUVs
509
01:24:09,850 --> 01:24:11,850
and people got out. And the passengers
510
01:24:11,850 --> 01:24:13,850
on the front seat got out.
511
01:24:15,220 --> 01:24:18,510
I reached for the door handle and the driver said
512
01:24:18,510 --> 01:24:20,510
NEIN!!
513
01:24:24,770 --> 01:24:26,850
You're with the convention, right?
514
01:24:28,340 --> 01:24:30,170
They opened the back of the SUVs and
515
01:24:30,170 --> 01:24:33,800
got out German Police lightbars,
516
01:24:33,800 --> 01:24:35,600
put them on the roofs of the
517
01:24:35,600 --> 01:24:37,970
SUVs and activated the sirens.
518
01:24:38,400 --> 01:24:40,970
and brought me into the con site which
519
01:24:40,970 --> 01:24:42,970
was a little Youth Hostel located
520
01:24:42,970 --> 01:24:44,970
in Siberia.
521
01:24:51,050 --> 01:24:52,910
Pulled me up where there was another
522
01:24:52,910 --> 01:24:54,910
red carpet waiting.
523
01:24:55,710 --> 01:24:56,910
And I got out.
524
01:24:56,910 --> 01:24:56,940
and a Gentleman came up, snapped to attention,
And I got out.
525
01:24:56,940 --> 01:24:59,940
and a Gentleman came up, snapped to attention,
526
01:24:59,940 --> 01:25:01,940
I returned the salute,
527
01:25:01,940 --> 01:25:04,000
he took me inside this red
528
01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:05,400
carpet to meet the
529
01:25:05,400 --> 01:25:07,170
immortal, the amazing,
530
01:25:07,170 --> 01:25:09,970
Sven Tegethoff, Cheetah to you and I.
531
01:25:09,970 --> 01:25:11,970
And they walked up and I said
532
01:25:12,770 --> 01:25:15,620
"Dude! You win! I can't top this!"
533
01:25:17,600 --> 01:25:19,910
Cheetah and I have been the best of friends ever since.
